Hydrothermal synthesis and characterisation of tin doped ZnO polyscale crystals with hexylamine additive

Polyscale crystalline ZnO particles doped with tin were synthesised under mild hydrothermal conditions (T, 150°C; P, autogeneous; experimental duration, 16 h) in the presence of hexylamine as an additive. The resultant products synthesised were characterised using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier t...
